Silver Carpet Lamb’s Ear (Stachys byzantina ‘Silver Carpet’)

Silver Carpet Lamb’s Ear is a low-growing perennial valued for its soft, velvety silver foliage and dense, spreading habit. This cultivar of Stachys byzantina is known for its uniform growth and minimal flowering, making it ideal for clean, textural groundcover.

This herbaceous perennial forms a thick mat of silvery-grey leaves with a plush, fuzzy texture. Unlike other varieties, it produces very few flower spikes, allowing the foliage to remain the main feature throughout the growing season. Its soft colour provides excellent contrast against green and darker-toned plants.

Silver Carpet Lamb’s Ear is well-suited for groundcover, borders, edging, and dry landscape plantings. Its spreading habit makes it effective for filling spaces and creating a soft, cohesive look.
